For those curious about PO49 (⬆️), it's Pigment Orange 49, a beautiful quinacridone that made stunning yellow golds, including a famous Daniel Smith color called Quinacridone Gold (which is still made, but is now a mix of other pigments).

The automotive industry is the primary buyer of pigments (the art industry only a small fraction), and they decided not to use it anymore, which means we all lost out! (Hey bicyclists, this is how to radicalize your artist friends!)

Another video of a color exploration went live. If you're curious about watercolors or pigments, it might be for you.

It's about PY129, Green Gold, a beautiful transparent greenish yellow, that works wonderfully as a primary too!
